This 'ill acknowledge your letter of August ?6th regarding the
removal of a car at Standard Oil Ciospeny of Ohio's plant at Latonia which
.caused a break in & connection. We appreciate that if this should have "been,
moved /while the car was "being unloaded* a serious spill sight have resulted.
She rules and regulations at present read as follows:
^
l/hen the full tank car of Sthyl STuld is placed at the unloading site, the car brakes, should- "be set prior to connecting the swing line. Hie car should "be protected fro removal "by the use of suitable track "banners.
Becently, while in "Cincinnati, I suggested and -Or. aehoe approved the following wording!
"lien the full tank car of Sthyl Iluid is placed at the unloading site,
the car "brakes should he set prior to connecting the swing line. The
car should he adequately protected against collision or removal.
At the division meetings early this year, we mentioned that in each case we felt de-railers or other adequate devices should he used to
prevent any accident to our cars while being unloaded and I think all our safety men appreciate this.
Very truly yours,
J. 0. Taylor
